New Delhi: In some good news for Tesla's Indian fans, Elon Musk has put a timeline for the electric car to enter the country. In a recent interaction with the students from IIT Madras, the Tesla CEO said the car may run on the bumpy Indian roads in 2020.

The Avishkar Hyperloop team from IIT Madras participated in the finals of "SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition 2019", a global competition organized by the American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company, on July 21.

The team asked Musk when he is planning to bring his company Tesla to India.

In January this year, Musk laid the foundation of Tesla Gigafactory in Shanghai - the first-ever outside the US - that is expected to produce 5,00,000 electric vehicles per year and double the production capacity.

Gigafactory Shanghai continues to take shape, and in Q2, Tesla started to move machinery into the facility for the first phase of production there.

Moving Tesla cars to India would be easy from the Gigafactory Shanghai once it starts operations.

Despite delivering a record 95,200 cars in the second quarter (Q2) of 2019, Tesla reported a net loss of $408 million for the quarter that ended June 30.

Tesla registered revenue of $6.3 billion - a significant improvement from Q2 last year when it had $4 billion in revenue.
